CDFA secretary Karen Ross spoke last night at the Future Farmers of America (FFA) State Leadership Conference at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, telling a crowd of thousands, “When you think about your future, I want you to think about public service — that opportunity to take what you know about agriculture and bringing it into the halls of the Legislature or Congress, at USDA or CDFA, at the Water Board, at the Air Board. We need you. We need your way of looking at things.”

The State FFA Leadership Conference <\/a>continues in Sacramento through Tuesday.
